The Minnesota Frost will advance to the PWHL finals after a 4-3 overtime win against the Toronto Sceptres in Game 4 of the semifinals on Wednesday night.
Taylor Heise, last year’s playoff MVP, scored the game-winning goal 16 minutes into overtime, and captain Kendall Coyne Schofield led the way with two goals in regulation.
The Frost entered the playoffs as the No. 4 seed but – as the reigning champions – were still narrowly favored to win the series against the No. 2 Sceptres, according to Dom Luszczyszyn’s model, with a 21 percent chance at winning in four games.
